Shane van Boening is certainly the hottest prospect to have come out of the USA for a number of years and he continues to add the major titles to his resume.
This time he has won the 9-ball division at the Derby City Classic from a field of over 300 players.
In the final Van Boening beat Filipino Lee van Corteza 7-6 to lift the title.
Van Boening picked up $16,000 for his tournament win and en route to the final defeated last years winner Ralf Souquet and Canadian-born Adam Smith.
